A mountain lion cub who was rescued in the Santa Monica Mountains after being abandoned by his mother at just three weeks old is recovering well after a life-changing surgery.
Osh is packing his trunk. After two decades at the Oakland Zoo, the Bay Area's only remaining African elephant will move to be reunited with Donna, the last female elephant who lived at the zoo. Here's where.
"Her bones are decalcified from eating an inappropriate diet. Unfortunately, she's a symbol of a whole industry where people can buy and sell a beautiful young tiger like this, keep them in inappropriate housing," said Dr. Alex Herman with the Oakland Zoo.
Two young mountain lions are now in the care of the Oakland Zoo after wildlife officials believe their mother was killed by a car. Here are some photos of the sisters.
Her name is Kendi, meaning "loved one" in Swahili. And while she arrived yesterday, she's already probably taller than you.
The Oakland Zoo says Donna the African elephant has been unsettled ever since losing her life-long best friend Lisa in March. With more female friends to socialize with at the Tennessee sanctuary, Donna will surely thrive! 🐘
